THE CIVIC HAS A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. WITHOUT ANY WARNING IT SUDDENLY RAN HOT LAST WEEK (OF COURSE LATE AT NIGHT ON A HIGHWAY). WE HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THIS MODEL AND THAT HONDA HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS, BUT WE ARE NOW 1 YEAR OUT OF THAT WARRANTY. DEALERSHIP SAID TO CONTACT HONDA OF AMERICA. HOA SAID TO CONTACT DEALERSHIP. SO WE ARE GETTING THE RUNAROUND. TWO SMALL REPAIR SHOPS AREN'T EVEN ABLE TO DO THE REPAIR.

I OWN A 2006 HONDA CIVIC WITH 99,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL WHEN I NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT OF MY ENGINE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. THE INSIDE OF THE CAR HAD A STRONG DISGUSTING SMELL. I GOT THE CAR CHECKED OUT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A CRACK ON THE ENGINE BLOCK. I DID RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT. HONDA TOOK NOTICE OF THE DEFECT AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE CAR. THE DOWNFALL, HONDA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ONLY UP TO 8 YEARS AFTER THE PURCHASE DATE. I AM A SECOND OWNER AND HAD NO IDEA THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE; HAD I KNOWN I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE CRACKED AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDED AND NOW HONDA IS SAYING THAT I MUST BARE ALL COSTS EVEN THOUGH I AM A SECOND OWNER. THIS IS NOT RIGHT BECAUSE IT IS NOT MY FAULT THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED. HONDA SHOULD STILL COVER THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT IS A DEFECT ON THEIR PART.
CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO HONDA, AND THE OFFER A 10 YEAR WARRANTY ON IT, BUT AFTER 10 YEARS THEY BASICALLY TELL YOU SORRY YOU'RE OUT OF LUCK. HOW CAN THEY DO THIS WHEN THE ENGINES THEY MADE WERE FAULTY?

I HAVE A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE FRONT WHEEL MADE CLICKING NOISE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. WHILE I WAS DOING THE AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL AT A DEALERSHIP, THE MECHANIC THERE TOLD ME THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING WAS BROKEN, AND THE DRIVE SHAFT AND THE WHEEL BEARING NEED TO BE REPLACED. I AM SITTING IN A MECHANIC SHOP TO REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE DRIVE SHAFT AND WHEEL BEARING NOW ( WHICH COSTS ME 500 BUCKS), THE MECHANIC TELLS ME THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEARING IS ALSO BROKEN. I REALIZE THE WHEEL BEARING PROBLEM COULD BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. INDEED, THERE IS A RECALL ON THE O-RING IN 2006( NOT SURE IF MY CAR WAS IN THE RECALL OR NOT), AND DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT WHEEL BEARING HAS BEEN FILED HERE ON NHTSA. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM MIGHT BE DRIVING ON THE ROADS NOW, WHICH MIGHT CAUSE FATAL ACCIDENTS. I WISH THE COMPANY TAKE ITS RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THIS PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE.
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, VEHICLE RAN HOT. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD, LEFT THE CAR UNTIL IT COOLED, ADDED WATER, AND BROUGHT IT HOME. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID I HAD A CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. A USED ENGINE WOULD COST $2100. I DON'T KNOW WHAT A NEW ONE WOULD COST. I WAS TOLD I COULD GO THROUGH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE USED ENGIN…

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, VEHICLE RAN HOT. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD, LEFT THE CAR UNTIL IT COOLED, ADDED WATER, AND BROUGHT IT HOME. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID I HAD A CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. A USED ENGINE WOULD COST $2100. I DON'T KNOW WHAT A NEW ONE WOULD COST. I WAS TOLD I COULD GO THROUGH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE USED ENGINE THAT I DID HAVE INSTALLED. I ALSO WAS TOLD ABOUT THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WHICH WAS ISSUED FOR THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. I TALKED WITH SOMEONE AT HONDA CORPORATION AND WAS TOLD 2 TIMES THAT THEY WOULD DO NOTHING BECAUSE MY 10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED IN AUGUST 2016. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED ON APRIL 22, 2017 WITH 98500 MILES ON THE CAR.IF HONDA KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH WORKMANSHIP OR MATERIAL, THIS SHOULD BE COVERED NO MATTER HOW LONG YOU HAVE OWNED THE CAR. I HAVE SUNG HONDA'S PRAISES FOR 20 YEARS WITH 2 CARS. MY RELATIONSHIP WITH HONDA HAS ENDED.
